Read Time:1 Minute, 10 Second

The long-running dispute between Nigerian director Kunle Afolayan and his brother Aremu Afolayan has finally come to an end.

Over the years, there had been conflict between the two sons of the late, renowned theater and cinema star Ade Love.

The world became aware of the two’s rivalry in 2018 after Aremu asserted that their father, despite his popularity, lived in poverty.

In response to Aremu’s comments in a widely shared interview, Kunle referred to Aremu as foolish.

But on Friday, November 22, 2024, at their mother’s wake-keep ceremony in Oyo State, the siblings finally put a stop to their disagreement.

Speaking at the event, Kunle emphasized that he was ten years older than Aremu and stated that he was his father rather than his brother.

“One thing I want to tell all Aremu’s friends is that I am not his brother but his father. I trained him and I’m 10 years older than him, but you, his female friends, push him. But love conquers all.”

Similarly, Aremu apologised to Kunle; “My greatest joy today is that my mother made us talk. She didn’t stop praying because I was the black sheep in the family. I disagree with my brother Kunle; he has no excuses because they said we resemble each other.”

“ I’m sorry for putting brother Kunle through the Instagram backlash. It’s because I love you.”
